Artist Statement
I am inspired by the belief that Art's power is its ability to make others see. It is this ability to reveal, both the good and the bad, that gives art the power to influence society. I believe that if art is to have a positive influence on society it can not merely reflect the problems, it must offer solutions as well. My work focuses on offering an antidote for the angst, stress and lack of satisfaction that seems to plague our contemporary society.
As children we were encouraged and expected to view the world with whimsy, imagination and joy. However "growing up" seems to mean pushing those perspectives to the background and only glimpsing them through a cluttered veil of stresses dubbed "reality." So I bring imagination and joy to the foreground where it can be viewed unobstructed.
This fantastical perspective is deepened with engaging characters, complex detail and themes reflecting on time, memory, and transformation. Whether I am working with mixed media techniques or only watercolor, each piece offers a moment where the wisdom of adulthood and the clarity of childhood intersect. I offer a world where imagination and whimsy obscure the angst, allowing us to let go of the unimportant and once again feel the joy that comes from a sense of satisfaction in life.
I am a self taught mixed media artist living in Richmond, VA. I hold a Bachelors of Science degree from James Madison University where I studied anthropology and art history. Art has been my passion from a young age however and since graduating I have been showing at fine art shows and festivals along the east coast. A life long creator in many media, I am currently concentrating on mixed media watercolor paintings featuring whimsical animals and still lives. My work has shown in galleries in NC, CA and VA and is included in many private collections through out the country.

San Diego would face a major disappointment when Atlanta decided to tear down Ponce De Leon Ballpark and replace it with the very round (almost doughnutlike) Atlanta Fulton County Stadium in 1965 for the Atlanta Crackers to continue playing in. As beautiful as Westgate Park was and as easily as it could be brought up to Major League standards, it didn't match the enormity of Atlanta's new stadium which screamed Major League Baseball... so while the trend was to migrate across the United States and take up residence on the coast, the Braves bucked the trend and instead headed south to Atlanta. Westgate Park was to continue on as a Pacific Coast League ballpark, and one of the best ones at that. Sadly, all of the grandious plans to expand the ballpark and take it to the next level would fall away, and the ballpark that was supposed to take San Diego into perhaps, the next century... wound up having one of the shortest lifespans of any Triple-A ballpark in history. Barely surviving a full decade, beautiful Westgate Park burned brightly and then died away as quickly as it came.

I forgot to write for "Write Anything Wednesday" yesterday, never mind it is still Wednesday in other parts of the world, so I will do it today "Thursday in New Zealand".
I did two posts yesterday, just forgot it was Wednesday.
It was a day of many things taking my attention from writing, like the picture above.
Poor Honey Bees!
It has been a bad year for the Bee Farmers here in Taranaki this year, with all the cooler weather the Manuka Bush didn't flower this year.
So there are very hungry bees around, the farmer was taking his bees hives away, from further up the road, I really don't know why he was doing it in the daytime as this is a job to be done at night when the bees are all resting in their hives.
Anyway as the trucks with all the bees were going down the road there were bees flying out from the hives on the trucks, our house was surrounded by bees, it was quite a warm day, I had all the windows and doors open, and did I have to move as bees started flying into the house, trying to shut up doors and windows, the bees were coming inside faster than I could shut the windows.
There were so many bees flying around, my husband got a box and added a mixture of honey in it, the very stressed out bees started landing on the honey container as you can see above.
I had intended to do some pruning of the Wisteria, it never got done as the bees were all amongst the leaves, a job to do today.
Anyway, this morning the bees have all left the box except for a few dead one's.
I wonder where they are today, no bee hives around for them now, hopefully, they don't all die there were hundreds of them flying around yesterday.

Whole Farm Approach to Trap Cropping Strategies for Stink Bugs
Robert Hochmuth
Multi-County Extension Agent, University of Florida IFAS
Suwannee Valley Agricultural Extension Center
When most people think of stink bugs, they usually think of a large green angular insect that stinks when it is crushed. But the world of stink bugs is much more diverse and complicated than that. Actually there are two species that are large and green, the southern green stink bug and the green stink bug. All adult stink bugs are shield-shaped, but the green and southern green stink bugs are both bright green and are among the larger members of the stink bugs commonly found in North Florida. Members of the stink bug "family" are very diverse in color with species that are green, brown, dark brown, metallic, or multi-colored. Most stink bugs are pests in that they are plant/crop feeders. However, to make it more complicated, some stink bug species are predators on other insect pests and therefore those species are beneficial. Since most are pests, this article will focus on those pest species.
Stink bugs (Pentatomidae) and leaf footed bugs (Coreidae) are important direct pests of many seed, fruit, vegetable, agronomic and nut crops. Stink bugs and leaf footed bugs are especially serious in the Suwannee Valley area of North Florida in vegetable crops tomato, pepper, and beans; and fruit crops peaches, nectarine, plum, blueberry and blackberry. Perhaps the most common of all members of these two groups is the leaf footed bug (Leptoglossus spp.), a brownish colored bug with large flat leaf-shaped hind legs. This is, by far, the most prevalent of all stink bugs and leaf footed bugs found at the Suwannee Valley Agricultural Extension Center near Live Oak, FL. Stink bugs and leaf footed bugs have similar life cycles. The nymphs and adults feed on a variety of herbaceous weeds, grasses (bahiagrass) and many crops including corn, peach, plum pecan, peanut, soybean, green beans, pepper, eggplant and tomato. Four or five generations may occur in a single year. Stink bugs have piercing-sucking mouthparts. The mouth consists of a long beak-like structure called the rostrum. Salivary fluid is pumped down the salivary duct and liquefied food is pumped up the food canal. All plant parts are likely to be fed upon, but growing shoots and developing fruit and seed pods are preferred. The damage on fruit from the punctures is hard brownish or black spots. These punctures affect the fruit's edible qualities and decidedly lower its market value. Young fruit or grain growth is misshapen and it often withers or drops from the plant. Stink bug feeding can also alter the taste of the fruit.
Stink bugs usually overwinter as adults but may remain active all year when the weather remains mild. Stink bugs are very mobile with the adults moving from crop to crop as the season progresses. When crop and weed hosts mature and die in the fall, stink bugs move into areas like woodlots looking for food and overwintering sites. Some stink bug species overwinter under the bark of trees. It is not uncommon for stink bugs to be found inside homes in the late fall as they try to find an overwintering location.
Stink bugs are difficult to control with insecticides. Recently they have become more common pests of many crops because of the reduction in broad spectrum pesticides that used to be commonly used in many fields and gardens. Most new, targeted, and "softer" insecticides are not effective against stink bugs. There are very few effective insecticides available to homeowners and organic growers. Because stink bugs and leaf footed bugs have many hosts and are very mobile, they can become a problem at any time during the season. They can be removed by hand or with a butterfly net from small plantings in gardens, but this is not practical in commercial fields. A trap called the yellow pyramid trap (Figure 1.); invented by University of Florida professor, Dr. Russ Mizell, exploits the visual behavior of the bugs and can be constructed and used to suppress populations. There is also a pheromone attractant available, methyl (E, Z)-2,4-decadienoate, that will enhance the capture rate of stink bugs. Used in conjunction with the yellow pyramid stink bug trap, stink bugs can be suppressed in small plots in north Florida and south Georgia. For further information on these traps read this document by Dr. Russ Mizell, http://nfrec.ifas.ufl.edu/MizellRF/stink_bugs/stink_bugs.htm
Another cultural practice gaining popularity as a method to manage stink bugs is trap cropping. Stink bugs and leaf footed bugs will feed on many crops and weeds, but they prefer to feed on specific parts of plants in specific maturity stages, primarily seeds in the milk stage, and certain other succulent areas that are present on individual plants for only a limited time during the season. Use of trap crops is based on the assumption that stink bugs can be attracted away from the main cash crop into smaller areas where they can be more efficiently managed. Trap crops must continuously provide food plants in the preferred stage that are more attractive than the cash crop. Small plantings of species such as triticale, sunflower (Fig. 1), sorghum, millet, buckwheat, soybean, field peas and okra, provide superior food plants for the bugs while also attracting their natural enemies. Once the stink bugs are attracted to the trap crop, we can better control them by spraying only the trap crop or hand collecting the stink bugs. Trials being conducted by UF/IFAS at Live Oak and Quincy are helping to identify varieties of trap crops that work the best. For instance, the sunflower variety, 'Giganteus' (Fig. 2), has been an excellent sunflower variety to use as a trap crop for leaf footed bugs, while others such as 'Titan' and 'Mammoth' have also been very effective as a trap crop. The rows of sunflower used as a trap crop are planted in a position between the overwintering sites and the edge of the vegetable field (Fig. 3). Another trap crop system showing excellent results at the Center in Live Oak for trapping stink bugs around large acreage grain crop fields was a five foot wide planting of triticale around the entire field perimeter. Triticale (a type of small grain) was seeded in the winter of 2012-2013 with a grain drill and grown to the bloom and early dough stage in April of 2013 when the stink bugs were migrating from the woodlands into the young grain fields. Once the leaf footed bugs build to sufficient populations, the "trapped" leaf footed bugs can then be sprayed and killed with inexpensive short-lived insecticides. The combination of triticale early in the spring followed by sequential sunflower plantings during the year, the leaf footed stink bug has been effectively managed in a 250 acre field area at the Suwannee Valley Agricultural Extension Center for two years. Only the trap crops were sprayed during the 2012 and 2013 seasons for control of the stink bugs. As a result of the strategically implemented trap crop program, no economic damage was found at the farm on susceptible crops including, but not limited to: tomato, pepper, eggplant, blueberry, and blackberry.
More research is needed to further refine these systems, but in the meantime, demonstrations are being implemented on cooperating farms in the Suwannee Valley area. For more information on using trap crops, see this publication by Dr. Russ Mizell, http://nfrec.ifas.ufl.edu/MizellRF/stink_bugs/bug_trap_crops.htm
So, don't be surprised stink bugs are still around and actually becoming more of a problem, but rather admire the unique adaptations this group of insects can make to survive. The yellow pyramid traps on a very small area basis and trap cropping systems on a much larger whole farm basis can assist farmers and gardeners by providing an advantage on managing stink bugs and leaf footed bugs.

Surfactant Increases Yield of Tomato Grown on Sandy Soil in Florida
Guodong Liu and Benjamin Hogue
Most soils in Florida are sandy. Sandy soil is high in large pores subject to free drainage and has low field capacity. Dry, sandy soil is water repellent, difficult to wet, and often forces water and solutes to flow via preferential paths (Ritsema et al., 1993). Thus, leaching is usually problematic in sandy soil. These properties of sandy soil challenge nutrient and water management for commercial crop production in Florida.
A surfactant is a compound that lowers the surface tension of a liquid (e.g. water), the interfacial tension between two liquids (e.g. water and pesticide) or that between a solid and liquid (e.g. soil particles and water). A properly selected surfactant may improve the wettability and quality of sandy soil. Surfactants have great potential to minimize nutrient leaching from sandy soil and enhance crop yield and nutrient use efficiency. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effects of a surfactant on: (1) nitrogen use efficiency; (2) phosphorus use efficiency; (3) potassium use efficiency; and (4) yield of tomato grown in sandy soil.
Materials and methods
This study was conducted with tomato (variety: Phoenix) at the Plant Science Research and Education Unit, UF/IFAS, Citra, Florida from August 13 to November 25, 2012. Drip irrigation was used with plastic mulch. Fertilizer application rates (lb/acre) were: 160, N as urea, 83, P2O5 as triple superphosphate, and 250, K2O as muriate of potash (potassium chloride, KCl). Surfactant application rate (lb/acre) was 30 as Stockosorb® 660. This Stockosorb® 660 is a polymeric surfactant with a chemical essence of polyacrylate which can retain water as much as 216 g/g (Ghebru et al., 2007).* All chemicals should be used in accordance with directions on the manufacturer's label. The fertilizers and surfactant were completely mixed, banded on the central two inches of the false beds, and then disked and incorporated into the soil before bedding and planting. Plot size was 180 (30 × 6) square feet with 15 plants. A randomized complete block design was used with three replicates. Nutrient use efficiency (NUE, lb/lb) was defined as below:
where TYf and YT0: tomato yield (lb/acre) with and without fertilization; F: fertilization rate (lb/acre).
Results and discussion
The tomato plants in this trial reached the maximum size in 8 weeks after planting. The plants with Stockosorb® 660 were 15% (significant at p < 0.10) greater in both height and stem diameter than those without Stockosorb® 660 (Figures 1 and 2). These increments were similar to the results of Norway spruce (Sarvaš, 2003). The total number of tomatoes and tomato yield of the treatment were significantly greater than those of the control at p < 0.05. Particularly, the treatment had more than 2-fold large tomatoes than the control (Figure 3). Similarly, the N, P, and K use efficiencies of the treatment were all significantly greater at p < 0.05 than those of the control (Figure 4). The effects of Stockosorb® 660 on tomato yield and nutrient use efficiency may be attributed to the enhancement of water and nutrient retentions in the sandy soil amended with Stockosorb® 660, particularly, in the root zones of the tomato plants. Chemically, Stockosorb® 660 is a potassium polyacrylate. This polymer, on a mass basis, retained 216-fold water and 102.5% and 154.9% more ammonium and nitrate, respectively, than that retained by a selected soil without treatment with the surfactant (Ghebru et al., 2007). These characteristics apparently contributed to yield enhancement of tomato planted in the sandy soil measured in this field trial.
Figure 1. Plant size difference with or without Stockosorb® 660.
Figure 2. Plant size was 15% greater in plant height and stem diameter for the treatment with 30 lb Stockosorb® 660 per acre than those for the control without Stockosorb® 660. The difference was significantly different at p < 0.10. The vertical bars were the values of LSD2, 0.10 for the plant height and stem diameter.
Figure 3. The differences in the total yield and number of tomatoes for the treatment were both significantly greater at p < 0.05 than for the control. The vertical bars were the values of LSD2, 0.05 for the yield and total number of tomatoes.
Figure 4. The differences in nutrient use efficiencies were significantly greater at p < 0.05 in the treatment than in the control. The vertical bars were the values of LSD2, 0.05 for the N, P, and K use efficiencies.
Sandy soil quality improvement is necessary for growers to maximize nutrient use efficiency and yield for commercial tomato production and minimize nutrient leaching in Florida. The data from this preliminary study showed that the selected soil surfactant has the potential to improve water and nutrient use in sandy soil. This potential may provides us with a new strategy to manage water and nutrients more effectively in sandy soil. Not all surfactants may cause this same response in your soil and with your management strategies, but this strategy shows promise.

Seepage is the most used irrigation system in Florida for potato production with the disadvantage of low water use efficiency; there are other systems available that claim to have a higher efficiency such central-pivot. With the aim of improving water use efficiency a potato grower in Manatee County had implemented central-pivot in three farms and studies are being conducted to compare both systems side by side, considering water use, yield and quality of potatoes. In a visit to the farms after a freeze event last winter, the grower showed us the differences he has seen between the two irrigation systems, the higher foliage coverage, greener plants (see figure 1) and less freeze damage (see figure 2) in potatoes irrigated with central-pivot as compared with seepage. Freeze protection wasn't considered for him as a benefit of using central-pivot when he installed the system. We went back to the field after two different freeze events and collect data on freeze damage on potato plants under both systems (see figure 3), and found in the seepage irrigated plants more damage than central-pivot irrigated plants, for February 23 and March 8. These results suggest that central-pivot system could provide some freeze protection to potato. Further research need to be done to confirm these preliminary results.

Minnesota nurses, Twin Cities hospitals reach tentative agreement
After months of tense negotiations, the Minnesota Nurses Association has reached a tentative agreement with 14 Twin Cities area hospitals.
The two sides had been battling over wages, benefits and staffing levels. The hospitals asked nurses to accept pension cuts; the nurses asked for consistent nurse-patient ratios and cited recent studies showing improved patient outcomes with adequate nurse staffing. When the hospitals refused to budge, the nurses went on strike, the single largest one-day nursing strike in US history. In response, the hospitals re-iterated their original proposals, so the nurses recently voted to authorize an open-ended strike, if necessary.
Both sides are citing the July 1 agreement as a victory. In the tentative agreement, the nurses maintain their pension benefits (the hospitals had wanted to cut them by 1/3), as well as their seniority perks and health plan. They also agreed to a zero wage increase next year, followed by a one percent raise in the second contract year and a two percent raise the third year. Nurse-patient ratios are not part of the agreement. Nurse leaders, however, argue that the absence of ratios does not signify failure. Rather, they say, the strike and resultant press have raised the public's awareness of safe staffing, an ideal they say they will continue to pursue. A blog post on the MNA website states, "We have only BEGUN to fight for safe staffing."
Twin Cities area nurses will vote on the new agreement Tuesday July 6. Fifty percent or more must vote yes to ratify the agreement.

Insulation and Air Sealing
Sealing and insulating your home is one of the most important things you can do for your home's comfort and efficiency. If your home is leaking air, losing heat or both, your heating and cooling systems are working harder than they need to, you're pumping expensive heated or cooled air outside and you're sacrificing your comfort. By upgrading your insulation and air sealing, you will be paying less for greater comfort and extending the lifespan of your heat and cooling equipment. We use four main types of insulation for both their high R-Value (their level of insulating capability) and their resistance to the elements and deterioration. They are the most effective types of insulation for their various applications and their cost.
Spray Foam Insulation:
Spray foam insulation comes in two forms--open and closed cell. Each can be used in different circumstances to markedly improve the efficiency and comfort of your home.
- Air seals and insulates in a single step
- Bonds to almost any surface
- Does not sag, settle or deteriorate
- Controls moisture and air flow
- Does not promote mold growth
- Has been in use for more than 50 years
Open Cell Spray Foam
This type of spray foam is great for almost anywhere in your home whether you're building new, remodeling or living in a finished home. It is most commonly installed in attics, walls and basement ceilings but not recommended for foundations and crawl spaces. Open cell foams are soft to the touch and have a lower R value than closed cell foam.
Closed Cell Spray Foam
Closed cell spray foam can be used almost anywhere in your home, and is recommended for foundation walls and crawl spaces. It is highly adhesive, repels moisture and seals out infiltrating air. Closed cell foams are hard to the touch and have a higher R value than open cell foams.
Cellulose Insulation:
Cellulose is an environmentally friendly and inexpensive insulation option for attic floors and walls. It is a great and non-invasive way to upgrade your home's energy efficiency. Cellulose insulation consists of ground up newspaper that has been treated with natural fire retardants and insect repellents. Cellulose can either be blown across attic floors to create a thermal blanket or dense packed into walls and ceilings to create a solid thermal barrier between your lived in spaces and the outdoors.
Air Sealing:
Air sealing is the cornerstone of your entire home's performance. Think of air leaks in your home as leaks in a ship--you wouldn't add a new engine to your boat before patching the leaks. Home performance should be viewed the same way, with air sealing being the first step towards solving comfort and efficiency issues within your home. It does not make sense to get a more powerful heating system if your home has leaks. We use our energy audits and assessments to identify leaks, patch them and then assess your home's heating and cooling situation. This helps us to determine if your heating system is sized correctly for your home's needs. A well sized system is more efficient, provides a higher level of comfort and last longer as it is not overworked.

The thriving village of Lemont, Illinois was first settled in 1873. This beautiful village is known particularly for its scenic views of hilly landscapes and bountiful waterways. Despite its close location to the large city of Chicago, Lemont is truly a peaceful, quiet, and tranquil place to live. The village hall is conveniently located in the center of town at 418 Main Street and can be contacted at (630) 257-1550.
Despite its relatively small population and size, Lemont has also has a lot to offer when it comes to businesses and services. Specifically, those looking to hire an attorney for any reason do not have to look very far to find qualified and local attorneys. One of the most common reasons for hiring a lawyer in the area of Lemont is that of taking legal action following a personal injury case.
All About Personal Injury Cases
Surprisingly, a number of people involved in personal injury cases do not even realize it. They may be injured in a car accident or even at their own workplace and simply accept the minimal compensation that the insurance company offers them. What these people do not realize is that they can receive full compensation for all of their lost wages, medical bills, and other related expenses by simply hiring the right team of Lemont personal injury lawyers and taking the case in front of a judge.
Steps to Take When You've Been Injured
If you have recently been injured in the area of Lemont and are now facing medical bills or other expenses that the insurance company did not cover, then you may be entitled to financial compensation. However, in order to receive this compensation, it is likely that you will need to hire a lawyer who specializes in personal injury cases. This way, he or she will be able to fight for your rights and ensure that you have the best chances of success when it comes time for your day in court.
How Much Are You Entitled To?
You may be entitled to significantly more compensation than the insurance company initially offered you after your injury. For example, if you have been unable to work as a result of your injury, you could be compensated for your time off from work. You can also be compensated for child care, property damage, or even pain and suffering. It is important that, following your personal injury, you take extra care to keep track of your bills and other incurred expenses. By having a record of these expenses and presenting them to your attorney at the time of your initial consultation, he or she will be able to get a better idea as to what you may be able to claim from the insurance company in court.
Having an accurate figure is important, especially if you want your case to be taken seriously when it ultimately goes in front of a judge. Be sure to file your bills and other expenses in a safe spot and do not discuss these figures with anybody but your attorney.Contact Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC For Help Today
While the village of Lemont, Illinois can be a wonderful place to raise a family and make a living, the fact remains that accidents can occur anywhere and at anytime. The main thing to remember is that if you were injured in an accident that was not your fault, you have rights. Be sure to speak with our Lemont personal injury attorneys to find out what next steps you may want to take in order to receive fair compensation for your injuries.

The movie world is filled with dysfunctional families meaning well while falling apart. They're typically fictional, so a true story like Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle should feel stranger than it does.
Before her successful writing career, Walls grew up in itinerant poverty encouraged by self-destructive parents. That domestic turbulence is smoothed by director Destin Daniel Cretton into just another bumpy ride, kept interesting by an actor's moving portrayal of Walls.
No, not Academy Award winner Brie Larson. She plays Walls from late teens to adulthood, with narrative gaps between escaping her family pain and coming to terms with it. She's practically flashbacked to inconsequence, making Larson's casting a minor distraction until later when past and present collide, releasing emotions pent up too long.
Instead, the joys and scars of Walls' upbringing, her father's cruel lessons and stirrings of the woman she'll become are found in Ella Anderson's moving performance as preteen Jeannette. Anderson's instinct to let the drama come to her, to nourish moments without appearing to try, is striking for any actor, much less one 12 years old.
Cretton and co-adapter Andrew Lanham might serve Walls' book better in more linear form, without Larson's Jeannette popping in to remind us more is ahead. Several of the film's strongest emotional punches involve Anderson's Jeannette: a swimming lesson turned abusive, a plea for her alcoholic father to stop drinking.
It's no coincidence those scenes also feature Woody Harrelson, whose soul-sallow turn as Rex Walls rates among his finest. Rex and Harrelson share vagabond smarts, anti-establishment paths and histories of indulgence, so the character's rascal side naturally crackles. But what Harrelson manages in Rex's crumbling moments transcends the confidence we know well, an actor wearing despair better than expected.
There isn't a false note in any of the performances, no small feat with a dozen young actors playing the four Walls children. However, Naomi Watts isn't served well by streamlining the book; Rose Mary Wells' mental health issues aren't addressed so she seems little more than selfish in parenting. Same goes for Rex's hillbilly mother — well played by Robin Bartlett — whose vile role in Jeannette's life (and maybe Rex's) demands calling out more.
The Glass Castle meanders toward its uplift ending, needing a few more of Cretton's clever time-jump edits, less rehashing the same personal failures. Not a bad movie at all, at times something more but seldom what it could be.

Study Materials
Module 2: Section 1
In this Section, we examine the process typically followed in parliamentary jurisdictions for preparing and enacting legislation, the role played in this process by legislative counsel and how legislative counsel may be expected to contribute to the activities carried out at each stage. We are concerned mainly with the preparation of Bills, but similar stages are likely to be followed for subsidiary legislation.
By the end of this Section, you should be able to do the following:
In this Section, we are concerned with the following questions:
Treat this account as a model for parliamentary jurisdictions, rather than a description of what happens everywhere. You may find that a number of activities have little application in your jurisdiction. If there is no local practice to note, just make an entry to that effect.
This Section approaches the preparation of legislation in terms of 4 stages from the standpoint of legislative counsel. Stages 3 (Instructing legislative counsel) and 4 (Preparing the legislative text) are the principal concern of legislative counsel. Stage 3 is elaborated in Section 2 of this Module.
We have provided a number of documents, modelled on ones in use in some jurisdictions containing official instructions or guidelines for practice. In addition, the Appendix to this Section contains a Checklist for policy appraisal. Give these the same level of attention as the Study Text.
This Section is less concerned with writing skills than in others. You will be considering institutional arrangements, rather than the form and content of legislative texts, and how to respond to the demands those arrangements make on legislative counsel. Use this as the opportunity to find out how your system operates in comparison with the model, the extent to which it diverges from the model, and the implications of variations for legislative counsel in your jurisdiction.

Mylan inks agreement with Natco for generic Copaxone
CANONSBURG, Pa. Mylan has signed a license and supply agreement with Natco Pharma for a generic version of Teva's blockbuster multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone.
Under the terms of the agreement, Mylan will have exclusive distribution rights in the U.S., Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Canada with an option to expand into other areas. Natco already has commercialized its generic Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) product in India and the Ukraine.
Worldwide sales of the brand drug were more than $1.7 billion in 2007, according to Teva.
The drug has patent protection in the U.S. until 2014.
Major drug companies agree to six-month moratorium on DTC ads
WASHINGTON Under pressure from some of the top members of the House of Representatives, top drug companies, including Merck, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer, are agreeing on a six-month moratorium on advertising new drugs to consumers and will limit how doctors are used in their ads, according to reports.
The changes were unveiled in letters the manufacturers sent the House Energy and Commerce Committee responding to a request from committee chairman John Dingell, D-Mich., and Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., who head the committee's oversight and investigations panel.
Dingell and Stupak had wanted the companies to impose a two-year voluntary moratorium on advertising of new prescription drugs to consumers – and possibly even longer in the case of drugs for which not all studies have been completed. The lawmakers also asked the drug companies to limit the use of doctors in their advertising and agree to "black box" warnings on ads if the Food and Drug Administration requested them.
In the letters, executives of J&J, Merck, Merck/Schering-Plough and Pfizer agreed to take several steps, while the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America agreed to hold further meetings with the committee. The companies will start following the American Medical Association's guidelines about using actors to portray doctors, and at least one marketer, J&J, said it would not use doctors in ads to discuss the benefits of a drug.
The drug companies said in their letters that the six-month moratorium formalized industry practice, which is to educate doctors before moving to consumer communications. "We drugs [that] requires that our operating companies spend at least six months after approval have adopted internal guiding practices on direct-to-consumer advertising for prescription of a new medicine educating health professionals before commencing a direct-to-consumer advertising campaign," wrote William Weldon, chairman and chief executive officer of J&J. He added that the company "does not believe a particular fixed period of time for an advertising moratorium is appropriate in all circumstances."
Dingell and Stupak said they were pleased with the response, but wanted the drug companies to go further, with a two-year limit.
FDA grants Mylan approval for generic Avalide application
PITTSBURGH The Food and Drug Administration has granted tentative approval to Mylan Pharmaceuticals for its application for a generic version of Sanofi Aventis' Avalide Tablets.
The tablets, generically known as irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide, are used to treat hypertension. The application is among the 92 that Mylan has submitted to the FDA for approval.
Avalide had U.S. sales of about $288 million for the 12 months ended March 31, according to IMS Health.

Better GMail and Picasa Integration With Google+
A big problem with Google's products, even the successful ones, is that they are very loosely integrated with each other. Here are my suggestions for tighter integration between Google's suite of "social" applications such as GMail, Picasa/Google Photos and Google+, with the probable future addition of Blogger.

Securities Service Network is a privately-owned financial services company
that offers investment products and services to independent security professionals
and registered investment advisors. Founded in 1983, Securities Service
Network was the nation's first fee-based dealer to offer a 100% payout
of commission and fees. Securities Service Network is headquartered in
Knoxville, TN and currently has more than 450 registered securities professionals
and investment advisors.
Since the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) licenses Securities
Service Network, SSN is subject to the laws and regulations that protect
investors. One particularly relevant law is the requirement for Securities
Service Network to oversee their brokers to ensure that they are acting
in the interests of their clients. If an unsupervised broker acts unethically
or deceptively, causing a client to suffer losses, then SSN may be held
legally responsible to repay the damages caused to the client.
FINRA laws make it possible for clients to reclaim their losses from investment firms, holding them accountable to their actions.
Many of SSN's past problems stemmed from breaching customer contracts,
and FINRA often agreed with the customer by awarding fines against SSN
in favor of the client. For example, SSN was fined $25,000 in 2013 for
failing to supervise a broker who was applying trades and decisions to
accounts he had not been given authority to do that for. In addition,
the broker did not abide by customer contracts, buying and selling securities
and distributing them to his accounts without the right permissions. Only
a month prior, SSN was fined $22,000 for
failure to supervise yet again. Lack of supervision creates a corporate culture that breeds
dishonest, deceptive practices that take advantage of client trust.
Meyer Wilson believes in one thing: fighting for victims of fraud against
the brokers and investment firms who caused them losses. Our investment
fraud lawyers are experienced and deeply knowledgeable in this field –
we secured over $350 million for our clients from brokerage firms like Securities Service Network. Because we practice
exclusively in investment fraud, we have the resources to go head-to-head
with the largest investment firms on your behalf. Meyer Wilson practices
nationwide, in state and federal courts as well as in arbitration with
FINRA and the American Arbitration Association.

This article series is intended to review Fly Fishing Rods and Reels under $500. The criteria for these reviews is that the actual product is tested in real world fishing conditions. They are not just wiggled in the showroom or cast in parking lot / show pond setting.
USA Built Under $500 - Article 1122017
In doing some research I realized there are a few rods that demand our attention. They fit a budget, provide fish-able actions and are made in USA by top well known manufactures such as Sage, Scott and Winston. My goal is to fish a few of these rods and report what I find. In this article I will review the...
Sage Motive 890-4
|Tamed with Motive
There is no doubt this is a saltwater stick. Sage publishes this rod as Fast in their description and Medium-Fast in the rods features. I consider it fast. If you have the skills to extract the power it will surely prove its worthiness with tight loops on the salt flats. The Motive is a serious saltwater fly rod and should be treated as such.
I didn't get the opportunity to give this stick a workout on the salt flats but let me assure you I put it through some demanding fishing situations.
|Mouth full of Swinging D
The Cool Blue Motive handles magnum short headed lines such as the RIO Outbound Shorts and the New RIO Coastal Quickshooter with relative ease. It performs with a little more line speed using tapers like RIO Bonefish and RIO Summer Redfish. In the right hands the Motive could certainly be a parking lot champion.
I wouldn't call the Motive easy to get in tune casting but I wouldn't call it difficult either. It rides tight on the middle ground providing good saltwater speed/power and yet retains intuitive fish-ability. It greatly reminds me of the Sage Xi2 of days past. We respected the Xi2 for its deep strong flats power while retaining enough feel that it could be mastered by many.
One of the great attributes the Motive has going for it is it can adapt to various types of fly lines giving an angler ability to adapt it for various situations. An example of this would be load it with a RIO Winter Redfish line which is short headed and extra weight in the front and the Motive will load easy and short which is so important for those Louisiana Big Bull Reds. Then switch to a RIO Bonefish Taper and and gain some line speed and distance for longer casts and softer presentations needed for Bahamas Bonefishing.
|Feather Game Changers
Final ThoughtsJust a couple years ago we would have paid premium for a stick this good. It's a great combination of power and grace and looks incredible with the blue blank color and black accents. While it is a saltwater destined rod I believe the action can carry over well into freshwater fishing including big streamer and big topwater fishing.
When strong winds, double hauls, tight loops and sensitivity are all in a days fishing this is a stick that will get the job done. It's USA built, powerful, modern, includes a Sage Ballistic Nylon divided rod tube and Sage's lifetime warranty.

text: Also known as Luke Flywalker. This little guy was a mini project for a robotics class. The intention of the project was to spur creativity and get the class thinking about motion. Students were given a cheap hobby motor and told to make something. This open ended instruction resulted in plenty of wheeled or fan powered contraptions. Mine used a flywheel to create a gyroscope. A servo at the top moved the legs up and down, thereby switching the support between the left and right sides of the gyroscope. Gyroscopic precession rotates this walker about an axis that passes vertically through its"leg." As it's weight shifts, the walker appears to move forward as it rotates in opposite directions about vertical axes on either side of the flywheel. The structural components were designed using Solidworks®, then 3D printed. The aluminum flywheel was manually machined on an NC-mill.
